Albert frowned. "I don't think that's a good idea. Let's take things slow and wait till he feels a sense of belonging in the department." "So, you're saying you can't vouch for him either?" said the bearded elder. Albert sighed. "I'm not denying that, but people like him are hard to come by. It's best if we don't trigger him, or we'll be suffering a loss over nothing." The two elders exchanged glances. "We respect your opinion, but you're responsible for whatever comes out of this." "Don't worry. I'll take full responsibility and leave you two out of it," Albert smiled. The elders got up to leave, bowing to Albert. Albert chuckled, muttering to himself, "I'm already one foot in the grave. It hardly matters what I take responsibility for. What a useless threat to hold against me." … Later that night, a plane landed in Zealand airport. Wilbur emerged from the arrival gates, taking in the sight before him. Seechertown was a first-tier city, with a long and rich history
Wilbur chuckled at once. "You really don't have to, Senior." "Young man, it's very disrespectful of you to behave this way in front of a Sanctuary level cultivator," the elder frowned. Wilbur sighed. "I mean no disrespect. I just don't think it's very nice to battle a stranger." "How dare you! You should be honored that I even offered to take you in as my pupil. Very well. I won't push it since you so rudely turned me down, but I'm going to teach you a little lesson for messing with a Sanctuary level cultivator." The elder waved a hand after speaking, and a wave of rampant spiritual energy surged out, bringing about a howling sound. Wilbur frowned. He drew a circle with one hand, and the elder's blow disappeared into nothing. "Oh? It seems I've underestimated you." The elder was clearly surprised, even a little intrigued. He took a step forward, launching another attack at Wilbur. Wilbur sighed, retaliating with an attack of his own. Both spiritual attacks collided in
"Ultimate Rush." The elder roared the words loudly, launching three powerful strikes in a row. The spear shook with rampant spiritual energy, and three spear strikes shot out toward Wilbur. It was the Phoenix Triple Nod. Anyone struck by either of the spear strikes would be paralyzed for a second, which would be more than enough for an expert to kill the victim. With no other choice, Wilbur had to take out his thunder cleaver. He did not add any lightning energy to the cleaver, making it no more than a large cleaver. Wilbur slashed the cleaver through the air, bringing down all three spears with its blade. Following that, however, the elder's spear grew in size as it came barreling toward Wilbur's face. The two of them had been battling each other in close proximity, and the sudden expansion of the spear would usually be enough to pierce right through the opponent. Wilbur's cleaver acted like a shield, deflecting the elder's Spear Charge with the flick of his wrist.
Wilbur chuckled. "You're a brilliant fighter yourself, Senior." "No need for the pleasantries. You may have beaten me in combat, but I'm going all out now. I'd be careful if I were you," said the elder. Wilbur frowned. "Surely that isn't necessary." "Why not? I'm faced with an expert. I'm definitely getting a good fight out of this! If you manage to hold up for three minutes within my spirit barrier, my promise from before still stands," the elder replied. Wilbur shook his head in exasperation. "Are you really that desperate for a pupil?" "Many people can only dream of being my pupil, young man! Let me show you what real power looks like." The elder retracted the spear and shouted, "Wrath of Spear!" All at once, spiritual energy exploded from the elder's body and lit ablaze into spiritual flames. At the same time, a hundred spears appeared within a twenty-meter radius around both cultivators. The spears were all different in shape and size, burning brightly with overw
Wilbur furrowed his brows. The thunder cleaver swung out in a dangerous circle, and the dragon's head spear was reduced to dust. The elder took another step forward, now holding a spear with a tiger's head at the tip that let out a roar. Wilbur stood still with his cleaver by his side as spiritual energy flowed out. The tiger head spear was snapped clean in half, dissipating into the air in waves of rampant spiritual energy. "Now take this one!" The elder took his eighth step forward, and a spear with five chains dangling from it shot out toward Wilbur. Spikes grew from the chains as the spear flew, and the chains wrapped themselves around Wilbur. Wilbur let out a cry, spinning the thunder cleaver once and bringing it down. A burst of spiritual energy surged out, destroying the penta-chain spear. The elder was furious, taking his ninth step forward. A pale, wispy spear appeared in his grasp, almost like a shadow. Both men were less than five meters apart now, and the
However, while the elder's ultimate spear condensed, Wilbur had already muttered a few chants as spiritual energy surged from him in terrifying waves. He finished the spell, put his palms together, and shouted, "Boulder Dragon Bomb!" As he cried out, a gigantic dragon's head rose up from the ground in front of Wilbur. The dragon opened its mouth, spitting out a giant boulder. Wilbur had used this move on one of Chance Teft's pupils, Zachary Yanez before. The boulder was about half a meter wide, burning brightly with spiritual flames and covered in runes as it hurtled toward the ultimate spear. A deafening rumble shook the air around them and the ultimate spear was shattered in an instant. However, the Boulder Dragon Bomb did not seem to stop. It continued to spit out boulders at the elder. The elder's face paled, and he used up all the spiritual energy he had left to form a spiritual shield. With a loud rumble, the elder was able to deflect this incoming bullet. Howev
Sammy showed up soon and the two of them sat down in the living room. "You're finally here, sir," Sammy said, bursting into tears. Wilbur said, "Come on, don't cry. Tell me what happened." Wilbur honestly did not understand how someone as rich and famous as Sammy would be trampled on like this. Sammy eventually forced herself to calm down before saying, "Sir, my brother went to look for Ria to lecture her ever since we returned to Zealand. Ria's not admitting to anything and even said my brother was falsely accusing her." Wilbur did not know what to say. There was no actual proof, and there was not much that could be done if Ria insisted on denying it. "My brother refused to let it go, and the two of them went into many arguments… only for Magnus to get my brother arrested in the end for slandering an artist signed to his company, demanding an apology and compensation," said Sammy. Wilbur frowned. "Who's Magnus?" "Magnus Ray. He's the general manager of one of the bigge
Sammy sat on the bedside looking like a helpless little girl. It made Wilbur feel at a loss. "You won't think I'm being rude, right, sir?" asked Sammy shyly. Wilbur coughed and said, "It's almost Fall, so don't catch a cold." "Sir, I know that I don't deserve you, but feel free to take me if you want. I won't harass you, and I'll be honored. Also, I'm still a virgin," said Sammy while biting her lip and fully blushing. Wilbur frowned and approached Sammy slowly. She shut her eyes and lay down slowly. Then, he grabbed the blanket and covered her. He said, "Rest for a while if you're tired. We'll depart when the time arrives." She hurriedly covered her face with the blanket, and said in the quietest voice, "I got it, sir." He shook his head, sat on the bedside, and started to smoke. He could not bring himself to take advantage of her. Time gradually passed. She quietly snuck out of bed and got dressed. She stood behind him while blushing. He checked the time and sa
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
